I have a 12' x 18' tiled spa with a 7' octagonal sunken hot tub off the master bedroom. The lip of the tub is 4" high off the floor. I want to build an 8' wide x 8' (maybe 12') long x 4" high platform which I can easily set up and take down for photography sessions. I need the platform because the tub is in the center of the room, I need the model to be at least 5' away from the backdrop, and the camera needs to be at least 8' away from her to avoid any optical aberation. Right off I see that I can use off-the-shelf 2x4s and plywood sheets to quickly build such a platform, but I want it to be lightweight and temporary. I have a place on our pool deck to store our hurricane shutters right outside the exterior door to the spa and that will be where I store the platform when it is not in use. I'm heading to Lowe's this afternoon to check out aluminum 2x4s and look at alternatives to plywood. In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions on lightweight materials other than wood?
Thanks in advance,
Doc
PS Yes, I use the hot tub for photos!
